Reverend Avis Wright: "The Black churches are reaching out to the community on crime. But every church in the city should be involved including small churches."

Pastor Raymond Davis: "A great effect because the church is in the community for the community. Our door is always open to all who choose to seek God and change their lives, and we are reaching out to all people who need our help."

Myrtle Davis: "Our churches are every effective in our city’s neighborhoods. We have young men and women we’ve gotten off the street and out of prison and off drugs who have been addicted for years. But through the church we have helped them and now they are helping others."
